Still have a bit of work to do on it. Will make one more then start the painting procedure. I just picked up some Black Primer today from GW, since Japan has stuff, I just can't read it! LOL

Have an extra Squig, well 2(1 is for another captain ona Squigasus), and I plan to use the final extra one to beef up the unit of 6 x Squig Knights to 7.

Also need to do the banner of the Hammer Gobbos and a Banner top for the Squig Knights. *Sigh* my work is never done LOL!

Fun, fun, fun!

Oh my, oh my, oh MY!!!

The Squigasus has undergone a HUGE transformation and I think he looks quite a few times better! But you be the judges of that!!!

These are all closeups!

Here is a tabletop view!

AND I SHALL NAME HIM... SNUGGLES!!! LOL

J/K, what do ya'll think of my first Squigasus?

It's a wonderful conversion! Well thought out and well executed!

APhilmon · « **Reply #28 on:** January 03, 2010, 08:21:42 PM »

thanks a lot! squigasus #2 will probably outshine #1.

I think I like the update better, the first Captain looked rather tall for a goblin (Granted he was using 'human' armor at the time) This one looks more goblinlike while keeping a very empire-ish feel. Well done so far!

Amazing conversion!!!

DUDE wow!!

Oh yah! That Gobbo is definitely the most fun looking one for me. However, he isn't done, still have to tag on some accesories. Can you imagine putting a bit into a Squigs mouth like he was a horse, he would eat it!

I am thinking about using Fanatics to represent Flagellents. Not sure yet though!

This is sooooooooooooooo crazy, I might just work!! I love it

Bases being reworked with Cork and some other material(fine sand and tiny pebbles, with a smatttering of additional cork pieces). Should work towards my slightly arctic theme!

Grand. Just Grand. I truly pity he who faces such a thing on the field... I wish I could be there to see their faces when they see that painted secret weapon fly at them.

I am normally not really into goofy armies, but truly your work is gold man. That squigasus is just so funny and well executed! Your modelling skills are rather good it seems. I also love the gobbo-hammer-knights, it's probably too much to be adding armour to those wolves though eh? I know there are at least some wolves with armoured heads?

Good luck with the project, we all appreciate a good laugh that's for sure

APhilmon · « **Reply #38 on:** January 04, 2010, 09:08:23 PM »

Nothing is truly done yet. No primer is on anything yet. Armor may make an appearance. I just got some more modelling putty too!

wow, another idea for my idea book to some day try to do. can't wait to see them finished. steveb

What no Orks? Orks can wear fancy clothing to you know! Awesome to know I am not the only Greenskin in the empire!

Updates, primered army first!:

The bases are still kindla flat, but there is some elevation and texture on them that the cork provided. I thought about some ballast or fine sand, and tried it at first, but didn't like the results. I like to keep them simples, and that way the bases don't detract from the army too!

I now show you my rear... LOL

Backside of my next captain. Keep in mind he is not done. I still have some putty work to do on him. This is a rough start. Also, he is sitting on the beginnings of a saddle.

And Squigasus #2, I will call him Cuddles... Also, he is still not complete. I may work out something so that he is leaping as well. I am not too fond of his stationary status. Fine for standard rank and file, but characters should be a little more interesting right, more dynamic I suppose? :p

Well there was Cuddles... Hope you enjoyed my latest updates. Note to everyone. I will be heading to the states tomorrow. So there will probably be very few updates from me. I don't want to have the hassle of bringing all this stuff on a place... Not worth the risk.

So the primered look is what I will tease you with for now!

C&C is welcome!

DANG!!! lookin forward to see Color on these bad boys ..LOL!!

Sandor · « **Reply #43 on:** January 06, 2010, 05:38:47 PM »

Love to see it painted

APhilmon · « **Reply #44 on:** January 06, 2010, 10:13:04 PM »

Of course you will be waiting about 3 weeks before I start throwing paint on! But I will try to acquire moe stuff for units while I am out of the country!

Molleson · « **Reply #45 on:** January 06, 2010, 11:10:09 PM »

This is amazing! I love the effort that has gone into this army and the concept is great! If I was blindly playing an opponent and he put that army on the table I would fall over laughing, then shake his hand and buy him a beer for such a crazy army...

APhilmon · « **Reply #46 on:** January 06, 2010, 11:38:59 PM »

And where are you located? I may want that beer... seriously... LOL! Thanks much!

steveb · « **Reply #47 on:** January 07, 2010, 01:43:34 AM »

coming to the states? where at and for how long? Hope you enjoy. steveb

skipper · « **Reply #48 on:** January 07, 2010, 02:17:53 AM »

Yes. You could probably walk into any game center,
or hobby shop, and receive a standing ovation
for such a SUPERBLY DONE ARMY
